Cayucos is one of our favorite California towns, a small, unaffected place that has just enough to do to keep you from getting bored but not enough to wear you out. If you're looking for a place to relax and unwind in Cayucos, you won't find a better place than On the Beach Bed and Breakfast. Located just steps away from the sand and adjacent to the pier, it offers captivating views and has rooms that are large and well-appointed enough to hang out and relax in.
On the Beach is one place where we definitely recommend getting an ocean view room (even though you'll pay more for it), especially on the second floor. Leave the patio door open to hear the waves, watch the sun set behind the pier and wake up to the seagulls calling.
The innkeepers at On the Beach are especially helpful and always trying to find ways to make their guests more comfortable. On holidays when local restaurants are closed, they offer extra-generous afternoon snacks and on New Years Eve, their Bubble Party may be the best in town.
